WADING PLUGS
WARNING
For safety, DO NOT work underneath the
vehicle unless it is safely parked with the
wheels chocked, or is supported by heavy
duty stands.
NOTE: On some models, to access the
wading plugs, it willbe necessary to remove
the front and rear engine undertray access
panels - see’Engine undertray’, in the
’Workshop maintenance’section of this
handbook.
Under severe wading conditions, the timing
cover and flywheel housing must be sealed to
prevent the ingress of mud and water. Fit the
plugs, supplied in the tool kit, as illustrated.
Remove the plugs immediately after wading,
or periodically if the vehicle is required to do
prolonged wading or very muddy work.
